I don’t even want to consider what the PayPal fees on this thing will be - but right now a 225 - acre Island is on sale on eBay. The island is part of the Fiji archipelligo, and is surrounded by a huge lagoon.

The island is valued at approximately $25 million - and apparently will be worth $40 million if someone finishes the resort that is being built on it.

From the pictures at the bottom, I learn two things. First - the roofs of the existing structures likely leak. Second - the island has been abandoned.

I was about to put in a $15 million bid, but Aubrey pointed out something important: The internet service there would probably be slow. That - I’m afraid - is a deal breaker for me.

View the island at eBay, and place your bids

On eBay right now, there is an iMac G5 that 10 people have bid up to $37,000. The same seller also has another one that 5 people have bid up to $27,000.

From now on, whenever I sell computer equipment, I’ll be sure to list it in both the:
Collectibles > Arcade, Jukeboxes & Pinball > Pinball > Paper, Manuals
section, and also the:
Dolls & Bears > Dolls > Barbie Contemporary (1973-Now) > Pets & Animals

To clarify, I did ask the seller:

What specifically about this iMac makes it a paper pinball manual or a contemporary barbie pet?

The seller has not yet responded. I’ll be sure to let you know when he does.

I know, the weather is starting to get colder and sandal days seem a thing of the past, but maybe if you start on a pair of these now they will be finished by spring.

Sock monkeys are one thing when they are creatively made from a pair of socks and represent a toy of some sort. When you start to create hats that look like a sock trying to be a monkey, that’s where I would draw the line.

Just in time for Halloween, here is a wig for any one who wants to go as a gum drop or a Lego with colored hair.

I’m holding out for knitted hub caps. Fuzzy ones.

Uh, the UKTOTW took a little break there at the end of summer, due to laziness being busy. With colder weather coming in now there are more Ugly Knitted Things than ever, and that means more pictures for UKTOTW to share.

Here are the much anticipated Parts II and III of the UKTOTW Pet Clothing Line - The Cat MuuMuu and the Guinea Dress

The cat muumuu is for all those “big boned” cats that want to hide a little of the pudge they’re been accumulating beneath their fluff. With a drawstring waist, it can be expanded to accomadate even the laziest of cats.

The cutesy guinea pig dress reminds me of a phrase . . now let me thing of how it goes . . oh yeah, it’s something like, “You can dress them up, but you can’t make them cute.”

This is another video where the commentary may actually be better than the video itself.

I highly doubt this is real, but it’s still kind of funny.
